Apologies, I had to cut my comment short. You are right that the folks getting rid of it would be fine for winter. But summer would have issues.
I was anticipating the folks that want it permanent. Who would then complain on winter.
You could probably go for more divisions in the year nowadays. Almost like it would be if you were doing true sun clocks. But there really are no panaceas here.
I like more divisions. I'm sure it fails large subsets of the population, but for many of us time is told to us by an always internet-connected device. NOBODY claims to be 3 minutes late because their watch was off anymore - we all see the same time to the second.
So, why can't we just have our devices just gradually shift the time by a few seconds each day? So that in our time zone noon stays roughly when the sun is overhead. We have (supposed?) benefits of switching our time, without the dangerous and disruptive discrete 1-hour events!
Not realistic, implementable, but fun and preferable to the current rough transitions.
